World Health Organisation (WHO) advises that mosquitoes cause millions of deaths every year

The following is summary information about mosquitos from the WHO website, starting from this link.

“Mosquitoes are one of the deadliest animals in the world. Their ability to carry and spread disease to humans causes millions of deaths every year. In 2015 malaria alone caused 438 000 deaths. The worldwide incidence of dengue has risen 30-fold in the past 30 years, and more countries are reporting their first outbreaks of the disease. Zika, dengue, chikungunya, and yellow fever are all transmitted to humans by the Aedes aegypti mosquito. More than half of the world’s population live in areas where this mosquito species is present. Sustained mosquito control efforts are important to prevent outbreaks from these diseases. There are several different types of mosquitoes and some have the ability to carry many different diseases.”

Diseases they transmit

Mosquitos can transmit infectious diseases between humans or from animals to humans. Mosquitoes transmitted viruses include:

Chikungunya

Dengue fever

Lymphatic filariasis

Rift Valley fever

Yellow fever

Zika

Malaria

Lymphatic filariasis

Japanese encephalitis

Lymphatic filariasis

West Nile fever

The 2015–2016 outbreak of Zika virus disease in the Region of the Americas demonstrated how a relatively obscure and mild mosquito-borne disease can become a global health emergency, causing congenital Zika syndrome, including microcephaly, and neurological complications such as Guillain-Barré syndrome.

What attracts mosquitos?

Mosquitoes can smell their dinner a distance of up to 50 meters,

Any type of carbon dioxide is attractive:

when you pant from exertion, the smell of carbon dioxide from your heavy breathing draws them closer,

so does the lactic acid from your sweat glands,

some mosquitoes eat nectar, so the more flowers you have, the more attractive your yard will be,

plants that allow water to gather in troughs and pockets are attractive to mosquitoes for breeding,

anything that holds standing water like a birdbath, garden bogs, or discarded rubbish that holds water will draw in mosquitoes.
